ABOUT THIS ACCESSORY

This compact is one of Lang's museum pieces. It is a precious example of Art Deco design and quality. Carved out of ivory, the solid 18k yellow gold interior of the compact is compartmentalized and mirrored, and appears to never have been used! The compact's exterior is embellished with opulent cabochon-style enameling with the inspiration of middle Eastern tapestry. The clasp contains cabochon sapphires as fasteners. The compact is suspended from a fine chain measuring approximately 9" in length. It comes in its original fitted box.

About Art Deco Jewelry

Sleek and modern, Art Deco design brought jewelry into the machine age. Yet these stylish pieces still found room for the fine forms and lines of previous eras within their elegant architecture. In particular, we see many peaceful co-habitations of Edwardian and Art Deco styles together.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
